Vehicles in Germany's City Found Smeared with Swastikas in Blood, Police Report

Incident location Affected vehicle Area Police
Police mentioned they were contacted by a man who found a car in Hanau covered with red-colored liquid

Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.

Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.

Officers report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.

The liquid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.

Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.

Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.

Law enforcement say preliminary tests show the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.

"Currently there is no lead as to its source; officials are not yet aware of any injuries in association with the event," they commented.

Local authorities announced they were working "to resolve the case" and have requested to the community for details.

An important representative commented the vandalism made him stunned and needed to be resolved quickly.

"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, referring to the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
